I briefly considered it with my niece heading down there today...but then I thought about dealing not only with the crowds at New Years, but my soon to be ex-sister-in-law...hard to tell which is scarier

You just keep your weather over that way! It has been super gloomy today but no precipitation...yet. Oh yeah, I'd rather deal with the crowds!

Along the lines of dealing with crappy weather and ex family...I am actually thinking about home schooling my kids starting next year so I can live in FL in Dec and Jan and get away from the horrible New England winters!!! I would stay with my ex mother-in-law because we still have a really good relationship. Oh the dreams we dream.

On a few occasions I've considered homeschooling my children. My older daughter and I would have been fine - in fact, when I was still teaching, she was in my class her sophomore year and it went (I think) fairly well. However, my younger daughter and I would always be at odds. As I put it, one of us would die, and since I'm bigger... Yeah.

That would be great! Does your ex-mil live near WDW?
I seen both good and bad examples of homeschooling with my piano students. Most of what I considered a bad situation eventually ended up in public schools.

You would consider braving the crowds at WDW for New Year's Eve!
I saw a few photos at the parks today and can't help but wonder how my niece and her Mom are getting along. My sis-in-law is notoriously late, impatient, and ill-tempered so I can't imagine they will fare well in the crowds today, if they even made it to the parks before they close to new guests

Did you see the picture of the line for Dole Whips? That was incredibly long as well!

My kids get this question anytime they are out of school for more than 2 days.

...you calculate how far you are from property every time you move. I'm now just 11.9 (west entrance) to 15.2 (east entrance) miles from property.
